I’m participating in lent and was successful this year

So religion warning ⚠️
I’m participating in lent. Even though I identity as Taoist/deconstructionist Baptist/christian witch 🫣😬 (none of those words should be together; but welp here I am)
And so I’m fasting from my vices: psychics, weed, fun flavored nicotine vape pens that make me look cool but really don’t 😎, putting POI on an unhealthy pedestal. That’s the real fast. It’s not giving up thing but rather re establishing my relationship with God
I definitely went hard yesterday with my big Tuesday: wine, psychic binging, food binging (didn’t cyberstalk my POI… darn too late)
But when I really think about it I really have made my relationship with psychics, romantic relationships and even work at some point more important, and above me. Those things have been at unhealthy pedestal above my well being and my spirit
Whatever crashes, crashes, what is meant for me will stay. No point in chasing, and trying to fix or future seek what I have no control, and yes it pains me… a lot. ugh so I cheesily singed up for the lent app that was endorsed by mark walhberg during the Super Bowl and charges about $60 in a month (also hot father Mike Schmitz is in this 👀, no stop it lusting eyes). But I dunno I feel like I need prayer to get me through this, I feel I do need connection with God; that what I crave. It isn’t about giving up psychic but re-establishing my connection with God, and I hope I don’t look a cherry picking heathen , but yeah I guess have been
I intend to check this thread less, but see I can’t help it… it’s true I also get sucked up into drama- it happens.
But still I want to welcome and would like to support ppl thru theirs if this is something that calls upon them. I’ve closed all my psychics accounts. Yup, bitwine and keensies
I do want to add during my binge I did ask about work and I gave into asking about dates of when certain paperwork would come… and a few said in couple of weeks and I was surprised it was that day! It literally and finally came yesterday! …But then I asked a certain question thing about work. And one advisor whom I did very much enjoy their wise answer said no; but I also asked reddit and former coworkers and they said I how I handled the question should be fine, I’ll get it... I weirdly am going to trust Reddit and coworkers and chatGPT- I dunno, it’s out of my hands for now.
Again whatever crashes, crashes whatever is meant for me will be.
I am both wonderfully and fearfully made. …From ash I came, to ash I go. (To very loosely quote that book)
Thank you for sharing. That was a beautiful confession of vulnerability and strength. It's hard to give up - we've all placed outside things above our health and welbeing. Giving up as you have - is part of healing.. and feeling again. I hope you thrive through this period and come out stronger.

I agree that in the persuit of things we forget about what really matters- being happy in this moment.
I told myself today that not matter what happens, I’ll always have the ability to be happy. As that is my natural state. That doesn’t mean I’m complacent, and don’t want to improve my life, I do, but that is a bonus. That’s an aim to be extremely happy which is possible. I will strive for better, to become super happy, but in the meanwhile, I’m happy. We’re alive and that’s enough. :).

I turned to this site today hoping there would be some post regarding giving up readings during Lent, and there it was. I applaud you for your honesty, tenacity, and different approach to reaching your goals. My small town pastor once said he vowed to change 20 things in his life as part of a New Year's Resolution, but only fulfilled one goal. I think he was trying to point out that God wants to see us try (at the very least) and does not ask for perfection For me, I am a little more selfish, as I am turning away from readings during Lent as I don't want to be lured by any more false promises. I have spoken to one advisor for over a year (10 readings), who told me I would be contacted for a better job opportunity. I am currently employed, but my company I work for has taken advantage of me repeatedly. They really like me, but they never correct the inequities. I'm older and it's difficult to find a different job as I am very specialized. Which brings me back to the reader who SWEARS that this will be the week I hear "out of the blue" there is an opportunity. While it is very tempting to call, I am going to try God on this one as I need His strength to help me cope if it doesn't happen. I wish you the very best in reaching your goals, and again, I applaud your honesty and fresh approach.

This section is for those who identify with psychic addiction
If it triggers you you’re free to block me or ignore this section
How rude of them. Please continue to use this forum as you wish, as it could help someone with addiction.

readings can be so addictive, and when you are paying $20min the money just flies. You get that high from hearing (in many cases) that sugarcoated reading, that when the predictions are not happening overnight, you seek that high again. I think it is important to find a reader that has either a short term or very long term outlook rather than the ones that simply say "soon". I always use readers that read the current path as well as the next month. My current reader does just that, sometimes she will pick up something that is coming up in the future but won't expand on dates, just gives me a non fairytale response, for example that there are several months I may need to wait etc. Besides this reader I also love Yona as she just gives an outlook for the next say 6 months to a year so i don't have the short term expectation.

Mina, don’t be discouraged. First and foremost I find it positive that you share when you have,”failed” if that wha5 you would even call it. As a very faithful Christian man, who has had horrible psychic binges in the past I get it, it almost feels like a kick in the nuts, or that is how it feels to me that is. I have been really really good about not getting readings, and trust me I want them! I moved 900 miles from my home as you may remember and I still don’t have a job!! It’s so upsetting that a man with my resume can’t get a job, yet I’m now considered a senior interviewer now. I’m 44, wtf does senior and 44 have in common? Oh well I guess I am interviewing with much younger people and truthfully I think they fear my experience and their job itself. Regardless I struggle as much as we all do but I just pray and pray and pray. I curse and swear at God as well. I get down right pissed off at him and I make sure he knows it. Afterwards I feel much better. Anyways glad to hear that you are trying different things other than these stupid ass readings that draw us back for more and more. Keep me posted.

Good for you, Mina.
I think we all fall off course at times. But, there is nothing like a change of scenery or environment to produce more support for not calling psychics. The fact that you are embarking on something new provides an impetus for a better life. For me, I live alone and my family is located in different states and time zones. So, I tend to fall off course and call psychics when I'm alone and don't have time to talk to anyone. I'm getting ready to travel to see my family again, and each time I do, I spend less. And, I have filled my time up with activities when I'm not alone to avoid calling.
Anyway, good luck to you! (and all the others that struggle with calling too much).
P.S. I went on a binge a couple of months ago because I kept on calling about a work situation. Nothing was changing based on the time frames I was given. So, I stopped calling and prayed more. Two days later, a situation unveiled itself that provided the answers I needed. It had nothing to do with what the psychics had said but everything to do with what I asked for in my prayers. Not to offend anyone, but that is what has ultimately helped me the most: prayers.
